Each homeroom must send two student representatives to each student council meeting. Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. If she randomly selects two students to attend the next meeting, find the probability of her choosing one girl and one boy?

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Lincoln has 15 girls and 10 boys in her homeroom. She randomly selects two students. The total number of students is 25.

The probability of choosing one girl is:

15 / 25 = 3 / 5

Now, 24 students are left.

The probability of choosing one boy is:

10 / 24 = 5 / 12

Therefore, the probability of choosing one girl and one boy is:

3 / 5 * 5 / 12

= 3 / 12

= 1/4

True
